Large pores are, have been and will be a problem for many people. It’s not just a esthetic problem but also a health problem because clogged large pores are much easier to get infected and turn into acne. Not to mention that they look really bad. Off course, there are many ways to camouflage them with make up but that’s just covering up the problem, not solving it. What causes enlarged pores? Well many factors. Some of them you can’t control, like skin type, puberty, hormonal changes. Other factors are: sun damage, poor cleansing, too much makeup, smoking, dehydration. You will agree that this factors are under your control and when it comes to beauty, you can’t allow yourself to be lazy. Large pores are something you have to deal with in an early stage so it doesn’t get worse. So how can a pore cleanser help you with reducing pore size?

First- When you are choosing a pore cleanser read costumer reviews. Pick the one that has positive comments about reducing pore size. Suction based pore cleansers and strips are proven to be the best way for people that have large pores. You see, lathers can be a good choice for people that have a blackhead here and there but if you have oily skin with a lot of blackheads you want to make sure to pick the pore cleanser that will clean your pores completely so they can reduce.

Second- When you get a pore cleanser it’s important not to forget to use it 2-3 times a week. If you leave your pores clogged the dirt and the oil will keep piling in an already clogged pore and the pore will keep expanding.

Third- After you finish your treatment use some of the well known techniques for shrinking pores. Rinse your face first with warm water to get all of the leftover impurities off your face and then soak your face into cold water. Cold water will shrink your pores. You can also use lemon juice or a homemade lemon juice and egg white mask as they have the same effect.

The most important thing is to have in mind that you can’t reduce the size of your pores if you don’t clean them good first. When a pore is clean you can use homemade remedies for shrinking and that way your pore will accumulate less dirt the next time.

Pore cleansers are designed for solving many skin problems like acne, dark spots, pimples etc. Pores on our face are openings of oil glands, and their size is a hereditary factor. That means that nothing you do will make them smaller. However, if pore cleanser is applied regularly it can reduce large pores. If you want to have a beautiful and youthful skin it’s very important to keep your pores clean. That means regularly removing the oil, dead cells and dirt that gets collected on your skin. Pore cleanser unclogs your pores and helps your skin “breathe”. When using a pore cleanser it is important to pay attention to the areas where the pores are very deep. Those areas are cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. Also, before using a pore cleanser, make sure you remove all makeup and dirt.

Pore cleansers can be found like:

-Facial cleansers (solutions) and acne astringents
-Suction- based electronic appliances

Facial cleansers usually contain exfoliating beads that scrub the dirt and the dead cells off the face. Most of them have a very mild formulation which is suitable for sensitive skin and everyday use. Facial cleanser is applied after a hot shower, when pores are open. After washing off the cleanser, it’s good to use a toner to tighten the pores and prevent them from collecting dirt. The finishing move is applying a good moisturizer.

Acne astringents usually contain alcohol which is used to reduce the inflammation and dry up the pimples. When choosing your pore cleanser have in mind also that alcohol has negative sides too. Although it can be useful when dealing with the inflammation (pimple), everyday use of alcohol-based pore cleanser can make you more problems. Alcohol dries the skin which makes the oil glands work extra to produce more oil. That, off course, results more skin problems

Suction based electronic appliances are maybe the best way of solving a problem with large pores. Electronic pore cleanser works by applying a low level of suction on the pores, removing the dirt and oil out of them, and making them clean and opened. These pore cleansers have two different suction caps. One is smaller and it’s used for the nose area, and the other is bigger and it’s used for cheeks and chin area. It is used on the clean skin, during or right after a hot bath. After the treatment, proper cleaning and moisturizing are a must.
